Products and services

• Water Treatment and Distribution Monthly potable water service providing drinking water to approximately 92,000 people across a 65-square-mile service area; sourced from a 30.5 MGD facility combining nanofiltration, low-pressure reverse osmosis, and surficial aquifer blend treatment.
• Wastewater Collection and Treatment Wastewater collection and treatment service for approximately 46,000 residential dwellings and 1,900 businesses, processed through the PGA Regional Water Reclamation Facility at 12.0 MGD capacity, supported by 285 miles of gravity sewer pipelines and 150+ pumping stations.
• Reclaimed Water Distribution Recurring sale of treated, disinfected reclaimed water to nearly 40 high-volume irrigation customers via 24 miles of dedicated pipeline; converts approximately 10 million gallons per day of wastewater into irrigation-quality water that protects area wetlands and buffers against salt water intrusion.
• Engineering and Construction Services Plan review, construction monitoring, property questionnaires, water meter applications, and inspections for new and existing water, sewer, and reclaimed water projects within the Authority's service area; supports developers, engineers, and contractors building residential, commercial, or municipal projects.
• Lien Search and Estoppel Services Estoppel searches and lien requests processed in partnership with Orange Data, LLC, providing title companies, closing agents, and other real estate transaction participants with information about outstanding debt owed to the utility on a specific property.
• Water and Sewer Connection Services One-time connection and impact services that allow new residential and commercial properties to access the Authority's water and sewer infrastructure; connection fees are based on usage type rather than physical meter connection, and engineering submittals are required for commercial and development projects.

Quantifiable outcome

• Saves 3 million gallons of fresh water per day through waste stream recycling, enough to meet drinking water needs of 24,000 people

Others

• Veolia Water Technologies: Supplies membrane treatment, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis systems like those used by SUA. Relevant adjacent comparison for technology supplier to a water utility with SUA's treatment architecture.
• SUEZ North America (now Veolia): Operating services arm of Veolia serving North American municipal water and wastewater utilities through contracts. Comparable technology and operating footprint to SUA's treatment plants, but as a contract operator/SI rather than an asset-owning utility.

Broad incumbents

• Essential Utilities (Aqua America): Large publicly traded US water and wastewater utility serving ~5 million people across 10 states. Comparable business model (regulated water/wastewater operations) though private and far larger than SUA; useful benchmark for utility valuation multiples.
• American Water Works Company: Largest US publicly traded water and wastewater utility (~14 million people). Comparable core business of water/wastewater treatment and distribution; benchmark for regulated utility operating economics, though much larger and geographically diversified.

• Pinellas County Utilities: Water and wastewater utility serving unincorporated Pinellas County, FL. Comparable regional Florida utility providing water treatment, wastewater collection, and reclaimed water; similar authority model.
• Manatee County Utilities: County-run water and wastewater utility on Florida's Gulf Coast. Similar regional Florida utility model with potable water treatment, wastewater reclamation, and irrigation-quality reclaimed water distribution.
